The Sugar Mill night club will be closing to make way for a £1m super club.

The new venture, which is creating 45 additional jobs at the venue, will be called ATIK and is promising to bring world class entertainment to the city’s club scene.

The new club will be open as soon as next month - with bosses promising a completely new look for the launch.

Tom Bowden, general manager, said: “The historic Sugar Mill has been a big part of the city’s nightlife for a long time and many people have happy memories of fun times here.

“But it’s time to bring something new to Hull, and this is the ideal year as we celebrate being the UK City of Culture.

“The investment will enhance the traditional features of the building whilst adding a contemporary feel with modern imagery, furnishings and technology.

"We’re really looking forward to transforming the club and reopening as ATIK to deliver a fantastic venue and night out for existing and new customers.

“We have exciting plans for our launch and beyond, attracting top international DJs and celebrities. Hull already has a great reputation for nightlife and has a vibrant student population. It deserves the very best we can offer in terms of a clubbing experience.”
